I'll explain the cryptic title in a moment. We're using MikroTik Cubes to form a studio-to-transmitter link for our community radio station. Analog audio is fed into a Barix Instreamer at the studio which converts it to a digital stream which is fed to the Cube on the roof, which in turn beams to th...

So far, so good! I disconnected the "slave" from the (working) laptop and moved it into another room and hooked it to the Ethernet port of a desktop PC. It took a few moments for the computer to recognize the new network, but now it works like a champ. Rain in the forecast for the next sev...

I'm not ready to mark it solved just yet, but... I think I may have coaxed the system into working! One of the two laptops I was testing with was definitely in trouble. You could set a static IP address and it would forget it. Anyway, I tried one more time using my "good" laptop with a st...

@jaclaz I agree; highly improbable! Two different laptops, each temporarily set with a static IP address of 192.168.88.10 / subnet 255.255.255.0, when plugged into the "slave" (192.168.88.3), each PC shows Ethernet disconnected . I will try and see what happens when I hook a PC directly to...

@jaclaz If you set your Windows nic to (say) 192.168.88.10/255.255.255.0 you should be able to ping/access them by IP. I just tried a different laptop, a different Ethernet cable and set its network card as suggested; results are the same: "Ethernet cable unplugged" and pings to Cube IP ad...

What have you connect them to test? – e.g. if it normal home router and a laptop connect to Cube, it should just work.

@radiobob Now that you can access the devices, do create and post the /export of both, follow the instructions in this post: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=203686#p1051720 @jaclaz Thanks for the "map" on how to navigate this jungle! As it turns out, Winbox was not connecting d...

Update: By using MAC addresses instead of IP, I apparently was able to connect to both the master and the slave cubes via Winbox, but then I'm a stranger in a strange land. I'm an analog audio guy stumbling through the networking world, and again that's why I purchased the units preconfigured (indee...

jaclaz, Thank you for your reply! It is an older Win 10 laptop, and the first thing I did was turn off the its built-in WiFi; I will check the firewall and try again. Should these cubes have worked straightaway? One of the reasons I chose the preprogrammed units was so I wouldn't have to tackle a ne...

I know I'm missing something! I purchased the preconfigured Wireless Wire CubeG-5ac60aypair to replace an urgently needed bridge that went down. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the system to work. Help! I connected one cube to a port on the router using the accompanying PoE injector, and the othe...
